[FM Discuss] php challenge...

[Andy Oram]

A nice report on a great architecture that seems to be evolving here. 
Although I've started to unwind my programming joints and try a bit of 
coding, I don't have such great skills and it will take me a long time 
to figure out the way the pieces of booki fit together. Any internal 
documentation? Maybe a good task for me (although this will be a very 
busy summer for me) would be to do some internal documentation.
